I think it’s rather ironic about the fact that Koppel seems to be talking about himself being on the side of facts and Hannity being on the side of opinion during an interview meticulously edited by network news.

I also think it’s ironic that Koppel actually thinks that opinion is “bad for America.” Yes, apparently in a country where freedom of speech is a paramount virtue, one of our veteran newsmen is actually arguing that freedom is bad for us.

With all due respect to Mr. Koppel, this is the mainstream media’s current gambit: Their opinions are facts and our facts are opinions, and America really needs to listen to more of their opinions. America has grown wise to this, as Hannity pointed out. That’s why most people reject the kind of narratives that the mainstream media are pushing.
